We have all talked about it before. It's no secret.

Those dealing with mental illness, drug dependency, or an alternative lifestyle,

are more often than not overlooked, not taken seriously, left to fend for themselves.

We sit back and we let people who aren't quote unquote average

fall through the cracks in our judicial system time and time again.

When two or more of those factors come into play, it creates the perfect storm for an unsolved

murder. When will we as a society learn that just because you're overcoming addiction or you

suffer from depression that you're no less of a person. When will we start to treat everyone as what they

are? People. Simply put, we're all humans. When it comes down to it, we all want to be loved,

we all want to feel safe, and honestly, we deserve that. According to Jacob Gears, you are a unique

collection of cells and energy that will never

again be recreated on this planet earth, and that alone you are worthy.

What beautiful words.

In today's episode, I want you to think about that quote.

Our victim today was worthy.

He was loved.

But sadly, our victim never found the safety he deserved. Week after week,

we bring you one cold case after another, asking you to help us bring closure for these families.

This week, it's the same. As you listen to this week's story, go back in time, remember details

you may have forgotten, help us bring answers to a grieving family. Because even though

our victim today did have many of the factors that I mentioned earlier, he was no less human.

This is the story of Blair Adams. I'm . I'm .
